Little lines, big memories

Keep the funny, the sweet, the completely out of nowhere things they say.

Each one kept in seconds, stamped with their exact age. A private keepsake that lasts, and yours to send to anyone who loves them.

Free, with nothing to buy

They say something perfect.
Then it’s gone

The made-up words. The questions out of nowhere. The dramatic little opinions. You promise yourself you’ll remember, you type one into Notes, and life moves on. By bedtime the exact words have faded. It’s not you, it happens forty times a week. And one day, you’ll wish you had them written down.

Little Lines is how, from now on, you keep them.

Ten seconds, then back to the moment

One tonight, one next week. A year from now you can read them back.

1. They say it

That word, that question, that opinion only they could have.

2. You type it

Open it, type the line, done. No scrapbook, no setup, no perfect handwriting.

3. It’s kept

Stamped with their exact age, in a timeline that grows with them.

Built to keep who they are right now

Each child gets a colour and a font of their own, so every line is unmistakably theirs. Ten seconds each, and a record of how they talked at four, and at five, and at six.

A kept line: When I grow up I want to be a dog. A big one. Elijah, just four.A kept line, overheard from the front seat: If Mom says no, just ask Dad three times. The third time he'll say yes. Stella, just six.A kept line, pushes her plate away at dinner: My tummy's full but my dessert tummy is empty. Olivia, just four.

What a line becomes

Every line lands in one timeline, stamped with their exact age. Scroll back any evening and hear them all over again.

Their words, on your home screen

One of your lines, sitting on your home screen, so it catches you while you’re doing something else entirely. Any line can be kept off it.

Send it to grandma

Turn any line into a beautiful little card for grandma, the group chat, the other parent. It’s free, and nothing is ever shared unless you send it.

Why keeping them matters

Savoring makes good moments count double

Psychologists call it savoring: pausing to hold onto a good moment instead of letting it pass.

Their words show you who they are

This age has its own little language, and in it your child shows you exactly who they are.

Still wondering?

I already type them into my Notes. Why this?

Notes keeps the words and nothing around them: not how old they were, not in an order you would ever scroll back through. Here every line carries their exact age, holds on to the drawing it was about, and lands in one timeline where any of them can become a card you send. Same ten seconds, a very different thing to look back on.

What if I go weeks without opening it?

Nothing at all. Lines do not expire, and the app never asks you to keep up: one from tonight and one from next month sit side by side in the same timeline. If you want a gentle reminder you can ask for one, weekly or just now and then, and turn it off whenever.

I have more than one child. Does that work?

Yes, up to four. Each one gets their own colour and font, so a line is theirs at a glance, and they all share one timeline you can filter by child.

Is Little Lines free?

Yes, all of it. Every line you keep, every chapter, every card, for up to four children. No subscription, no in-app purchases, and no card to enter. What you keep is yours: your timeline stays readable, any line stays shareable, and you can export all of it.

Where do my child’s words actually go?

On your device and, where available, in your own private iCloud. They never reach our servers, so we cannot read them, sell them, or train anything on them. Your child never needs an account, and never needs a screen.

Could anything end up online?

Only if you send it, and only to whoever you send it to. There is no feed, no profile, nothing public. A line becomes a card when you decide to make one, and then it goes where you put it: a message to grandma, the group chat, the other parent.

What if I lose my phone?

If your phone backs up to iCloud, your lines travel with that backup onto the next one. And Settings has a free export of every line, so you can keep your own copy somewhere else too, any time you like.

What ages is it for?

From their first words on. The wildest years are roughly 2 to 6, and it keeps going as long as they keep saying things worth keeping. It is your app, not theirs.
